Adverse Drug Reaction and Pharmacovigilance in Elder Patient’s Health

Abstract

A pharmacist is a medical expert who is dedicated to helping patients take medications in a safe and efficient manner. Many Indian hospitals do not consider a pharmacist’s responsibility for medication use or their role as a health care provider in clinical practice. The study's first goal is to comprehend how healthcare professionals view and interact with the clinical role of the Pharmacist. According to the study, general practitioners were only made aware of the role of the clinical Pharmacist following an intervention. The study makes the strong recommendation that other hospital-affiliated health care providers be allowed to take part in educational programs on drug-related topics and be open to collaborating with the clinical Pharmacist to improve patient care. According to the current study, pharmacovigilance program implementation in hospitals is crucial for ensuring safe medication use, preventing adverse drug reactions, and, ultimately, improving patient care quality.
